Decanted 30 minutes. Nose of spicy pepper, blackberry and a touch of alcohol heat. Tastes of big fruit: blackberry and cherry, with tobacco and tannins. Finish is dry, with some heat and sweet berry flavors that circle the tongue. Tannins dry the mouth quite a bit, leading me to believe this could use some more time. Nice Shiraz however.
